A Different Approach to Fishmeal Groundbait
Gold Medal Green Swim Fishmeal Mix combines high-protein fishmeal with green betaine to produce a distinctive groundbait suitable for a wide range of coarse fishing situations.
Green fishmeal-based mixtures have become increasingly popular among commercial fishery anglers, particularly those targeting carp and bream.
They are also being used on natural venues, where anglers are experimenting with fishmeal-based groundbaits for a variety of coarse fish.
Green Swim can be used on its own, mixed with breadcrumb to increase the quantity, or prepared for feeder fishing.
What Makes Green Swim Different?
- High-protein fishmeal: A widely used ingredient in modern coarse fishing groundbaits.
- Green betaine: Adds a distinctive component to the formulation.
- Green appearance: Gives the mixture its characteristic colour.
- Commercial fishery use: Particularly suited to anglers targeting carp and bream.
- Natural waters: Can also be tried on rivers, canals and stillwaters.
- Flexible preparation: Suitable for feeding as small balls or preparing for feeder fishing.
- Can be bulked out: Mix with breadcrumb when a larger quantity of groundbait is required.
A Popular Choice for Carp and Bream
Fishmeal-based groundbaits have become a familiar part of modern commercial fishery angling.
Green Swim combines that established ingredient with betaine, creating an alternative to conventional brown or dark fishmeal mixtures.
Its main target species include:
- Carp: Particularly on commercial fisheries where fishmeal-based feed is widely used.
- Bream: Suitable for experimenting with on both commercial and natural waters.
- Skimmers: Useful when targeting smaller bream and mixed catches.
- Other coarse fish: Can also be used where several species are feeding in the same swim.
The mixture has become a popular addition to the Gold Medal range and offers anglers another option when conventional groundbaits are not producing the results they want.
How to Prepare Green Swim Fishmeal
- Place the groundbait in a bowl: Start with the quantity you expect to use during your session.
- Add water gradually: Introduce small amounts while mixing thoroughly by hand.
- Check the consistency: Aim for a soft mixture that holds together when squeezed.
- Add your chosen feed: If required, incorporate suitable hook bait or loose-feed particles into the prepared mixture.
- Form small balls: Make golf-ball-sized portions ready to introduce into your swim.
- Adjust for feeder fishing: If using a feeder, prepare the mixture so it holds during casting but releases when submerged.
CHAMPION’S TIP: Green Swim can also be mixed with breadcrumb when you want to increase the quantity of groundbait. Start with a small amount of breadcrumb and experiment with the proportions until you achieve the texture and feeding action you require.
Where to Use Green Swim Fishmeal
- Commercial fisheries: Particularly when targeting carp, bream and skimmers.
- Natural stillwaters: An alternative fishmeal mixture for bream and mixed coarse fishing.
- Feeder fishing: Can be prepared to release groundbait around the hook bait.
- Pole fishing: Suitable for feeding small groundbait balls accurately into a swim.
- Mixed-species venues: Worth experimenting with when several species are present.
As with all groundbait, adjust your feeding rate and consistency according to the venue, water temperature and fish activity.
